Dell Latitude Laptop Batteries Problems

Diagnosing a Failing Battery Dell Battery Meter/Jason Artman Under normal usage conditions, you can expect a notebook laptop batteries to last for a maximum of about 2 years. Unfortunately, Dell's standard warranty period on new batteries only lasts for 1 year, which means that the battery for your Latitude can be replaced under warranty in the event of a defect, but not because of decreased life resulting from normal use. If you are experiencing decreased battery life, right click on the power icon in your system tray, then click on Dell Battery Meter. Replacing Your Battery If your battery needs to be replaced, a replacement may be ordered from Dell. Extended Capacity Batteries Nearly every Dell Latitude model has an extended-capacity battery available.
